2- PORT PERRY STAR - Real Estate Section - Tuesday, June 23, 1992 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Inside, outside clean-up time From Page 1 It's advisable to clean them out, especially if you overlooked this chore last fall. Left unchecked, blocked eavestroughs and downspouts can cause a lot of damage, because wa- ter cannot flow through them properly and will back up, resulting in dam- age to your house. Check the joints of your eavestroughs for leakage and inspect your down- spouts carefully. (In the winter, clogged down- spouts can cause water to build up and freeze, there- by splitting the down- spout}. If you have a retaining wall, check it for any cracks, loose mortar or signs of movement. Decks and patios should be cleared of debris and in- - spected carefully for signs of wear and tear. Decks should be checked for sag- ging, rot and insect infes- tation. Loose steps or rail- ings should be secured. Be sure to include win- dow wells in your damage checklist, especially if they are not covered with a protective bubble or shield. Indoors It's important to con- duct a spring inspection and tune-up on the inside of your home as well. Start in the basement and look for any cracks or signs of dampness in the walls or floor. Also check your win- dow frames for any signs, of moisture or damage. Look for deposits of a white, powdery residue on your basement walls. This is efflorescence -- a salt de- posit which indicates the presence of moisture. If you find any, double check your eavestroughs and downspouts to see if they're causing the prob- lem. (Water which is im- properly channelled due to poor fitting or dilapidat- ed eavestroughs and downspouts can seep into the wall}. If the damage is serious, consult an expert. Also check the rest of the interior of your home for any signs of cracks or damage. Pay particularly close attention to your ceilings for any signs of water damage. Your atticis another im- portant area to check for signs of moisture and con- densation. If you see mil- dew, rot or fungus, the hu- midity levels in your house are probably very high. It's also wise to check and see if the insu- lation is damp. Also check your attic vents to make sure they're not clogged. Keep an eye out for signs of pests while you're up there. It doesn't take much for a raccoon or squirrel to gain access to your attic.
